Your Questions Answered - FAQs

A: This is a great question and I can understand how people are being skeptical.

At the beginning I was actually not so confident either. I was told by a friend that was having a lot of success with Instagram at that time, it would not work for Foundr Magazine.

Thing is, I’m yet to see a market that applies all of the correct steps where this does not work. I’ve seen this work anywhere from pitbull lovers to teeth whitening to knives, it might even work for pitbull teeth whitening! But I’m not sure that’s too safe!

It’s just absolutely insane how many markets where this does work. I think that way you should look at this is to remember just how many people use Instagram as their vision board. Fans in a market love using Instagram to share what they find interesting and what they find inspiring. You can find Instagram accounts and influencers on every single niche you can imagine.

Q: IS THIS GOING TO WORK WITH MY LANGUAGE? IS THIS GOING TO WORK ON MY COUNTRY?

A: The short answer is absolutely!

Look, there are many different languages for Instagram, so if you work in one market, there’s no reason why it wouldn’t work in other markets, in other countries. I’ve definitely seen accounts before that have quite sizEable numbers with different languages.

So if it works for other accounts and other industries, why wouldn’t it work for you?

The trick to making it work is to make sure you’re doing all the steps required to leverage Instagram. A friend of mine has a fountain pen addiction and he was telling me his favourite Instagram account was in Japanese, covering obscure Japanese handcrafted fountain pens, which is crazy. The account is in Japanese, but has followers all around the world. Not only does a picture tell a thousand words, but it also does the translating for you. Another thing for you to think about is, often there’s a lot less competition for you in other languages.

Q: IT LOOKS LIKE YOU ARE POSTING A LOT! CAN I DO THIS MYSELF?

A: That is what’s great with this system. You can absolutely do this by yourself, if you are someone who are still working full time and are trying to get all set up in your spare time, this is going to be brilliant for you. With you smartphone, you can even do this during your breaks, commuting, whenever you have a spare five minutes.

The key thing is be consistent. Whatever you do when you start, don’t give up. And I recommend you have social media Mondays where you put maybe an hour or so for your day, and you create all your content for the week. Then you simply schedule your post, then let everything work on autopilot. Remember, like everything, you get out what you put in.

Q: DO I NEED TO SPEND A LOT OF MONEY ON ADVERTISING TO BE SUCCESSFUL?

A: The Instagram Domination System has two parts. I show you all the techniques you need to use to grow your Instagram account fast with free strategies and then we dive into all the paid opportunities you can take advantage of, if you want to speed things up. So it’s the best of both worlds!

If you are just starting out, and are someone on a tight budget, you can totally get going with the powerful free strategies. If you’re a seasoned marketer looking to fast track your results, you’re going to love the paid techniques like the paid shoutouts. It is very cool.

When I got started, I didn’t have a big budget, or anything like that, so what I did- and I recommend to all my student starting out was focus on posting great valuable content on a regular basis, and the leverage all the free tools and tricks to get fast momentum. As your account grows, you can then start buying some shoutouts if you want, and the most important thing is to make sure you’re always capturing your traffic and building your email list. There’s no point to getting millions of Instagram followers if you don’t know what to do with them. I’ll teach you how to do that inside the Instagram Domination system.

Q: HOW DO WE FIND TOP INFLUENCERS ON INSTAGRAM?

The reason influencers are important is they are key part our our Instagram growth system, and it’s pretty much from doing a massive amount of partnerships and cross promotion. This goes behind the scenes ridiculously for all the top Instagram accounts, and you wouldn’t even know.

Once you’ve identified influencers, ask yourself ‘how can I help? How can I serve?’ So how do you find influencers in your market? The way we did it was to look at people who were engaging with their content and we would look at their profiles, and look at who they were following. You would see the same accounts popping up again and again, and guess what? They were influencers in our market.

Q: ONCE YOU IDENTIFIED AN INFLUENCER, HOW DID YOU HELP THEM OUT?

A: There’s many different ways. Shouting out their content, taking a screenshot of their content and sharing it on your page. Commenting on what you’ve liked about a post they’ve made and be specific. What did you like about the post. Being specific makes you standout. Do this over a consistent period of time, and do not expect anything in return. Follow all their social media, purchase their products or services. In one case, I actually even helped an Instagram, I was setting up his online business, and he was an entrepreneur that had a big bricks and mortar company. They have over a million followers now on Instagram, so they’re gonna return the favour.

Q: WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO START NOW?

A: Instagram is such a hot platform. The engagement is so good, they’ve just launched the ad network, it’s such a new platform in terms of marketing. People just don’t know what it’s capable of, and it’s not saturated. That’s why you should start now. It’s just a brilliant way to get attention, and build your business, and get your brand found. If you start building your followers and your likes, as the platforms transitions to paid advertising, you’re in the backseat because you already got this big following.

So it’s going to be cheaper and easier. Just like the people who got into Facebook pages earlier, or podcasting, or youtube, or blogging. You have exactly the same chance with Instagram.
